I'm not sure if it's a universal thing, but it seems like every body shop tries to scam their clients in some way.

When I went in for purely cosmetic repairs, they disconnected my electronics and tried to get me to pay them to fix it, even though it was working fine before I brought the vehicle in.

What sort of scummy fucks have you had to deal with?

I've never been ripped off badly but my wife would get taken advantage of before I met her. Nothing huge but always getting upsold on tick-tacky stuff. New plug wires installed way too often, etc. It really pays off to understand enough about car maintenance and to speak clearly about what you want inspected (not just "it's making the noise") to keep the shop honest.
